We cannot promote Wales from behind a desk says First Minister

First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones has yesterday launched Wales in the World, the Welsh Government’s international agenda.

The document sets the steps the Welsh Government is taking to ensure Wales has a strong global presence.

First Minister Carwyn Jones said yesterday:

“I’ve always said we cannot promote Wales from behind a desk.

“The global market is crowded, competitive and aggressive. We need to be out there working for Wales, fighting for every job and encouraging others to do the same.

“I’m fiercely proud of this country and I’ve travelled the globe, raising the flag for Wales in support of Welsh imports and exports.

“The International Agenda, that I’m publishing today, outlines how we are making sure that the world knows Wales is open for business, while re-affirming our commitment to the European Union.

“Reaching out and building relationships with the world is hugely important to us and I am committed to the task of raising our profile overseas. This new document is testament to that.”
